I just wanna know if this helps Optimus any bit. I'm guessing 'no' because that would be too awesome.

It does actually. On many Optimus machines, HDMI-out is connected only to the Nvidia card. This allows you to use it by using the Nvidia card as an output slave.

Of course the main thing people want from Optimus is using the Nvidia card as an offload slave. But that too will be part of xrandr 1.5, and I'm sure there will immediately be an article here at Phoronix once new patches for that get posted

I'm gonna give a bad example, but, to me, the "Optimus - Linux" situation is like the "Playstation 3 Hack" situation... many years of nothing, and then the big boom xD

Now more seriously, this guy is making a great job, and if I could help him I already had done that for sure !

(Just a user hoping to use the Nvidia of his Asus 1215N even with nouveau )

You can help him. Buy Red Hat operating system licenses and support contracts.

Dave's a Red Hat employee, so you support his employer, he keeps a job, we keep getting the goods. It's easy.

Dave is the man. It's hard to fathom but I think he's been getting more productive over the years that I've seen him contributing. In his shoes I'd probably get burned out; but he's doing the opposite, and getting even more code out the door now than before. Wow.

That is what I like to see; more support for actual developers and less trolling.
